Sickness and Disease
·
Something
that you have done and wished that you had not done and have regretted it ever
since.
·
Regret
is a feeling of sadness or disappointment.
·
Marked
by fear of failure, fear of abandonment from family and friends, fear of not
being loved, fear of being judged, fear of guilt, fear of shame, fear of being
shunned, fear of rejection, and, extreme dislike of self (self-hatred).
·
Regrets
leave a person very angry with themselves and others.
·
Regrets
are a result of our choices and will cause depression at one level or another.
·
If
we have bitterness of self and others, rejection, unloving spirits, hatred,
self-hatred, it takes a toll physically and emotionally.
All of the
above can compromise one’s immune system because of the fear created by one’s
regrets.
Mind-Body
Connection
We must
understand the mind body connection.
What we think in our mind affects us in the physical and emotional. Example: Everyone has been called up in front
of the class to make a speech or do a presentation. Leading up to that, great fear rises up in us
causing panic attacks, stress, and anxiety, which can lead to sweating, lightheadedness,
upset stomach and even diarrhea. So,
what you think in your mind roles over to physical and emotional
manifestations. This is what we are talking about in this article. What we think affects our physical and
emotional health.
Cortisol
Cortisol is
an important in fight or flight but, if it is present on a long-term basis, it
destroys your immune system. What this
means is we either deal with an issue (fight) or we don’t (flight). What God has created for us to help fight an
enemy has now turned on us and has become the destroyer of our lives.
According,
to medical information, long-term over-secretion of cortisol has direct
physiological effects on the following functions: Carbohydrate and lipid
metabolism, protein metabolism, inflammatory effects, lipid metabolism, immune
reserve, digestive function, urinary function, connective tissue function,
muscle function, bone function, vascular system and myocardial function, and central
nervous system function.
Cortisol
directly influences immune responses to antibodies and inhibits the production
of helper T cells. The diminished helper
T cells cause a decrease in B cells and antibody production.
This begins
the destruction of the immune system due to the over secretion of Cortisol. The
body is attacking itself. We are in essence beating ourselves to death. Over
years, and especially with the elderly, our immune system becomes weaker and
weaker.
Cancer and
other immune disease are the effects. What is the cause or roots as related to
this article? Regrets!
Our bone morrow
produces white T cells to fight off immune disease. Lack of white T cell production increase our
chances of immune diseases. The bible
mentions what happens to bone marrow production when we have regrets and fears.
A merry
heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit (regrets) dries the bones (marrow).
Proverbs 17:22.
Solution
God is not
complicated and His solutions are not complicated. Actually, God’s solutions are very basic and
gives us the keys to our health, good or bad, according to His Word.
First, we
have to understand where in the Bible sickness and disease comes from. That would be Deuteronomy 28:15-68. Second, we must understand what causes
sickness and disease. That would be
disobedience, which is sin.
So, we take
all things mentioned in this article as a result of regrets and identify them
as sin. We confess these as sin to God,
ask God to forgive us, and ask God to help us to change our ways (REPENT). Any
time the regrets seep in each day, we repent again. We do this each and every
day until we see healing progress.
There are no
cures for immune diseases. But, there is
healing in the name of Jesus. It is
God’s promise. He sent His Son so that
we can be healed from our sin that caused sickness and disease.
But He
was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The
chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5
Gather with family
and friends to Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one
another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous
man avails much James 5:16.
Why do we
turn to man and not believe God’s promises to heal? Tony Sanchez 9-25-21
